SH-4 is the prescribed instrument of transfer under Section 56 of the Companies Act, 2013. It captures the details of the transferor, transferee, number of shares, consideration, and stamp duty paid. The completed and stamped SH-4 is delivered to the company along with the original share certificate. The company then approves the transfer in a board meeting, updates its register of members, and issues a new share certificate to the transferee.

Yes. SH-4 is one of the 14 services included. You can raise as many SH-4 requests as you genuinely need throughout the year, one request at a time.
No. Government filing fees, stamp duty and certification charges are billed separately at actuals. The ₹15,000 covers the professional filing service only.
A checklist is shared the moment you raise the request. Documents typically include resolutions, KYC of relevant persons and supporting evidence specific to SH-4.
Three working days from receipt of complete documents and required approvals. Saturdays and Sundays are non-working days.
The unlimited plan is structured as a bundle. We've found that companies needing one filing almost always need others within 12 months — and the bundle works out cheaper for nearly every Private Limited Company.
